Venezuela blows up illegal flight Learjet 25D April 10 2014
Same General posted a photo of Learjet 25D PT-OHD (1979 build) blown up on the ground. It was reported that the aircraft entered Venezuelan airspace with the transponder off, aircraft was forced down and destroyed on the ground - no comment made about anyone on board.

I guess it really doesn't state the condition of the occupants. ASN says 0 occupants, 0 fatalities.
Brazil-Registered Plane Intercepted by Venezuelan Air Force
BRASILIA – A private jet that took off from Brazil and entered Venezuelan airspace with its transponder deactivated was intercepted by the Andean nation’s air force, the Brazilian military said Friday.
The plane, a Learjet 25, left Brazil on Thursday without an approved flight plan, the Brazilian air force said in a statement.
At some point between takeoff and entering Venezuela’s airspace, the jet’s transponder was deactivated in violation of international aviation rules, according to the statement.
The Venezuelan armed forces forced the Learjet to land on suspicion the aircraft was being used for “illicit activities,” Brazil’s air force said.
Brazilian authorities are investigating the occupants of the plane, the statement said.
Caracas has a policy of intercepting aircraft suspected of carrying illegal drugs. While not a drug-producing nation, Venezuela is a conduit for cocaine from neighboring Colombia.
